Oh well. I have enabled system Auto Updates, so I was still on LE 12.0.2., where the librespot version was 0.5 - didn't notice there was a 12.2 release. So I updated to 12.2 manually, reinstalled librespot¹ and it's working again. Thanks for the hint!

¹had to do that because I tried to change the application backend, where the default alsa hw:2.0 did not work. I just was too lazy to type the related output...

Hey there,

any chance on upgrading librespot to a current version? It was working well until recently (sometime this summer). From the logs I got

Code

# tail -f .kodi/temp/kodi.log | grep librespot
debug <general>: Librespot: [2025-10-24T21:41:26Z ERROR librespot_playback::player] Track should be available, but no alternatives found.
debug <general>: Librespot: [2025-10-24T21:41:26Z WARN  librespot_playback::player] <spotify:track:4bXkJxL5o6ro4iLmBAl80E> is not available

Which lead me to https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1527. Trying the workaround with adding 0.0.0.0 apresolve.spotify.com to /storage/.config/hosts.conf did not work for me. I then get similar issues to https://github.com/librespot-org/…ment-3167524954
